SIR CHARLES TUppER ON PR0Hl.
BlTl0N.

Halifax, Feb. 22.-Sir Charles
Tupper who, it is generally sup
posed, will succeed Sir John Mac
donald as the leader of the Liberal
Conservative party, has just made a
very important declaration on the
Prohibition question. He is opposed
by third party Prohibition candi-
date, Notwithstanding his lifelong
record as temperance man. In
his speech he pointed out that he
had carried through Parliament
law giving absolute prohibition in
the Northwest Territory, covering
an area Of 2,5O5,000 square miles !;
he had made total abstinence COM
pulsory among the employees on
the employees on Government rail-
ways all over Canada, and to-day
he regarded prohibition as the most
vital question of the people. He
declared that if by going into oppo-
sition to the Government he could
secure legislation that would prevent
the manufacture, importation, sale
and use of Intoxicating liquor, he
would not hesitate one moment
about doing it.

F0RT-STREET CHURCH SOCIAL.

There was a large attendance ut
the Fort-street Church vestry last
night at the annual social. The re-
ports read were of great interest and
showed that all lines of work during
the past year have been vigorously
maintained. The Clerks report
showed nineteen additions to the
membership during the year, max
ing the present membership $40, of
whom 277 are residents of Homo
lulu, and 63 reside on other islands
in the group and in other lands,
which shows marked gain in the
resident membership over last year.
The reports of the Church and S.
S. Treasurers, showed total col
lection for benevolent work during
the year Of $2,2O6.75. This large
amount is devoted exclusively to
mission and charitable work, the
expense of maintaining the regular
service of the Church being pro-
cured by rental of pews. The Sun
day School reports showed marked
increase in the attendance over the
preceding year and slight increase
in the collections for benevolence.
The young Peoples Society report
ed a membership Of sixty-four and
is in excellent working condition.
The Fowler's Yard Mission report
ed day school with an attendance
of thirty and Sunday school con-
siderably larger; sewing class also
meets regularly. The evangelistic
service in connection with this mis-
sion has been held regularly Mon
day evenings during the year with
an attendance varying from 20 to
60. The Ladies' Benevolent So
ciety reported prosperous year,
and all bills paid.
Following the reports there was a
very enjoyable sociable, with re-
freshments serve by the ladies. The
Fort-street Church have certainly
solved the problem of how to make
their Annual meetings attractive
and interesting.

PORTUGUESE AGGRESSION IN ZAN-
z1BaR.

London, Feb. 25th.-Henry NJ.
Stanley telegraphs from Zanzibar
recounting the seizure of the Sultan
of the Zanzibar's steamer, Kilivia,
and the bombardment of Tnngi by
the Portuguese. In the opinion Of
Stanley Portugal is acting in a high
handed manner, relying on the inter-
ference of Germany. Passiveness
on the part of England, Stanley
says, will be most injurious to a va
luable trade. England and Ger
many together ought to cry "hands
off, to Portugal before irreparablc
mischief ensues. Stanley says in
reference to the expedition to the
relief of Emin Bey, that the party
have embarked on the steamer Ma
dura. The expedition consists Of
nine European officers, sixty-one
Soudanese, thirty Somanlis, six
hundred and twenty native of Zan-
zibar, three interpreters, and Tippu
Tib, the Arab trader, and forty of
his followers. Couriers have gone
overland with letters to Uganda,
while others have been sent to STAN
ley Falls to meet the native chiefs.
